I think that anyone who runs for president has to have a clear path for job creation for our country, and with the oil price per barrel going up, any time [gas] is over $4 a gallon we have major recession in this country. We are facing that again now and that has put a real down draft on any job creation that was occurring.

So for any president, jobs has to be No. 1. That will be the issue in the next election. America’s social fabric is deemed highly tested now. I think people have a positive attitude towards the president, but I think we as a country have to do more to create jobs in this country.

I’m hoping that the president will embellish the agenda that he’s been presenting to the country. Of the Republican candidates I’ve seen, with their proposals we would have more unemployment, not less. President Obama had a terrible situation that he inherited and he pulled us up to this point.

But the private economy is not pulling up on pace for several reasons: No. 1, our trade imbalance. We are importing more than we are exporting. This cuts off our economic growth it. No. 2, the wars are costing us. In every two years we spend about a trillion dollars on war. No. 3, the Wall Street collapse has raided equity from communities across this country.

So there’s issues on many fronts and I think his breadth is sufficient enough to engage now the second half of the recovery. I don’t see that from any Republican candidate. I think their solutions are too simplistic.
